A GOVERNMENT CLERKSHlp.
1t is No Place for Young 3Ian of Edu
cation and Ambition.

1t is No Place for Young 3Tan of Edu-
cation and Ambition.
I recently chatted with q bright Young
man who holds a second class clerlship
81 400 IN the war department at Washing
ton He took the place ten years ago, after
having been graduated with high LOnors
from one Of the leading New England col
leges, intending to thus support himself while
studying q profession. lis salary ct that
time seemed large, and he was able to save
quite nu@get each year. Re studied less
and lcss, and after q few months gave II up
altogether Then he married, and instead
of saving anything, it is all he can doto sup
port his family in very modest way. These
are his own words:
ssA Government clerIlship is 10 place for
Young man Of education and ambition. Alas,
I did not know that when I started in, but l
know L now to my sorrow. Such work IS
well enough for MANNED soldiers or for SOL
lier's widows and daughters who have to
earn their daily bread; in fact 1t is q Cod
send to many such. But let strong, hearty,
energetic young men choose almost any other
line of work. The work is easy and the
hours are from to only, with q half hour
for lunch: but it IS q treacherous routine
and ins;diouslv works upon mans mental
powers Qf{LlA u taltlil a1A up anu iIc DS-
comes no better than q machine.
''Tbe government clerkship accorpplishes
the destruction OF ones mind just as the
galleys used to do Of the body. l would
gladly resign this very day, but what would
become of my family? l know absolutely
nothing about any profession or business oc-
cupation: and were l 20 start in now would
have to begin at the bottom and work up,
and it would be several years before I could
earn what Uncle Sam now pays me SO regu-
larry. There are hundreds of men in Wash
ington similarly situated. Their ambition
is gone, their talents are gone, and all they
desire is to hold on to their clerical positions
as q drowning man clings to rope. Iwant
10 make desperate effort, even at this late
day, to get into business and be an active
worker; but I see 10 opportunity, and the
chances ara that l shall continue to be fed
with government pap to the end of my days
unless receive the grand bounce when some
change occurs n the administration. Cor.

That British Claim.

WAsH1NGroN, April S.-Although cor
respondence has not yet begun between
the Department of State and the Coy
eminent of Great Britain. in regard to
the reported threat that governments
seizure OF Tortugas is made from Hayti
in default of debt, yet the investigation
is being made. and all data relating to
the subject in possession of the depart
ment is being collected. The English
claim appears to be very intricate in
its nature. The correspondence had in
the Frelinghuysen administration
shows that the claim is an individual
one, based upon number of cessions,
subcessions and contracts regarding
the privilege to cut mahogany that was
not cut, or at least in insufficient guam
tity. The amount of the claim in Score
tary Frelinghuvsen's administration
was placed at $780, 600.

Joining Forces.

PtTTsBURG. April 8.-Coal miner;
throughout the country are discussing
the formation of a gigantic organize.
ton by the amalgamation of the
National Federation of Miners and the
Miners National Assembly of the
Knights OF Labor. Heretofore con-
siderable jealousy has been manifested
between the members of the two or
CARNATIONS, but lately the officials have
shown disposition to agree upon 4
plan for mutual benefit. At a recent
meeting of the executive board of the
Federation of Miners Associa-
ton, resolution asking for 3
conference with the executive board
of the Miners Assembly was adopted.
The plsn of federation is that the two
executive boards shall meet and draw
set of rules or laws for the govern
ment of mining affairs. These laws are
to provide for representation from
both open and secret branches of the
organization. No person is to serve as
an officer unless he becomes member
of the knights of Labor. 1t Is under
stood that the idea is to have the fedora
ton still retaining the organization with
the understanding that all of its mem
bers shall also be Knights of Labor.
This will also likely bring all of the out
side Knights into the Federation.
The Union of Miners would then bring
together both organization 1t is likely
that the Knights of Labor organization
will agree to conference.

The Festive Cowboy Released BY
the Governor,

B. A. Thompson, the COW boy from
the Wind River country, has been re
leased from the County Jail, on the fol-
lowing pstitien, which was signed by J.

ecuting witness, and Elias A. Smith,
Judge of the Probate Court:
To the Hon. Caleb ". Vest, Governor
Utah Territory:
Your petitioners, whose names are
hereunto attached, respectfully repre-
sent that B. A. Thompson was arrested

Jury in August, 1886, on the charge Of
obtaining money under false pretenses;

fined IN the County Jail one
month and five days, and In the
Penitentisry five months awaiting

of February last resulted III conviction,
and he was sentenced to imprisonment
in the County Jail for two months and 60
pay fine OF $40 and costs of the prose
eution, all of which ne is now serving
out; that the evidence showed no rna-
licious misrepresentation ON his part,
and that the imprisonment he has al
ready undergone is enough, in view of
his good conduct vhila in prison, and
that il released he could and would go
to work.
Wherefore, we respectfully petition
that ne be pardoned and released.

The Investigation.

The investigation into the conduct OF
the Women's Industrial Home was con-
tinued yesterday afternoon at Governor
Vests Office, large number of ladies
and gentlemen assembling as the in
veshga.ing committee. Among them
were the Governor, Judge Zane, Judge
Foreman, Mr.. Dickson, the Rev. Mr..
McNiece, and other ministers, Mrs.
GalMaith, Miss Dickey, Mrs. Campbell,
and several others. There was an evil
dent determination to slit the affidavits
of Mrs. Boss to the bottom. That lady,
Miss Georgia Snow and Mrs. DR.. Wood
were called as witnesses, the latter lady
being allowed the privilege of cross-ex-
aiming the others, who were ques-
toned by the Governor, the Judges and
Mr.. Die son. Mrs. Boss malntaine .
the truth of her affidavit as published
in THE HERALD, but as she and Mrs.
Wood were seen chatting amicahly TO-
gether, and IS they rode off IN the same
carriage, il is probable that a forgive
and forget policy has already been de-
cided upon. Miss Snow was closely
questioned; she maintained that she
had no motive IN the matter other than
an upright and proper one, and when
some reproachfuI words were uttered
regarding her giving the matter to the
Mormon papers, which 1t Was claimed
were hostile 10 the Home, she answered
that as for THE HERALD, to whom she
had given some of its information, she
thoughtis had shown no evidences of
hostility:ra Their that its course was fair
and Impartial. The hearing will be re-
snmed to-day, when number of in
mates will be examined in Mrs. Woods
behalf.

THE KILLING AT BINGHAM.
10. Lee Laid Out by Lou Braea Oh
Thursday.

Joseph Lee was shot and killed at
Bingham on Thursday evening by Lou
Braca, a young Italian about % years
ofage. The row is supposed TO have
commenced over woman by the uams
of Mrs. Bloom, with whom, = Is be-
lieyed, both had been considerably more
intimate than the law allows. Lee was
at the woman's residence on Wednes-
day evening, and was indulging in the
luxury OF COMMUNICATING. Mrs. Blooms
screams brought Braca over to her
house, his. own residence being but q
few Ieet away. Braca wanted to know
what the trouble was, when Lee re-
piled that it was none of his dashed
business. Braca then retorted that
the old man who owned the
house, and with whom Braca
was living, had sent him to inform Lee
and the woman that such racket must
be stopped, or they would be compelled
to vacate. Hot words ensued, and
during the windy war, Lee applied
some exceedingly vulgar epithets 20
Braca. The latter then went away, and
matters quoted down. Thursday
morning, Braca called on Lee, and more
trouble ensued. Lee finally went away,
and Braca told Mrs. Bloom that if Lee
did not leave him alone, he would have
to lay him out. Lee returned to the
house about o'clock. with a Ballard
rife he had borrowed from some one,
and after remaining in the Bloom man
sion few moments, went to the door
of the house occupied by Braca, the
old Italian, and otbers.-To Braca, Lee
said: You abused me last night, wheu
l had no chance to defend myself. II
you viii come out now. I'll give you
satisfaction. The old Italian warned
Lee TO go away, or he would be hurt.
Lee went away, but soon returned, and
made some more similar remarks,
at the same time, as Braca says,
pointing the rife towards him. Braca
then fired and Lee fell. He lived but
few minutes. The weapon with which
the shooting was done was an old-fash-
Toned rifle, loaded with shot. The
charge struck Lee in the left side.
Braca reloaded his gun, went down to
the Justice of the Peace and gave him
self up. He was placed in Jail and a
guard put on duty.
Yesterday an inquest and prelimi-
nary examination was held. and Eraca
was asked for 81 500 bonds to await the
Grand Jury's action. He did not secure
bail, however, and was brought down
and placed in the County Jail. >
Braca is strong in his declarations
that the shooting was done in seif-de-
tense. He says that Lee was consid-
erably under the influence of liquor,
and although he was usually pesceable
and quiet when sober, ne was hard
man when in his cups.

3nnd Steel.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Advices pro-
cured at the Navy Department from
the Inspector of steel at San Francisco,
are regarded as highly encouraging g.
Lieu:enant Gilmer. who is charged with
the duty of inspecting the steel to. be
used by the Upion Iron works in the
construction ofathe cruiser Charleston,
reports that he has tested some of the
bars and other material turned out by
contractors, and found that they
blended beautifully, and he thinks that
with little patience they will be able to
turn out as good material as there is
made. 1t certainly shows excellently
so lar, says the Lieutenant; it is as
good as that made east, and is in some
respects superior. All of the prelimi-
nary work is row being pushed by the
contractors so that the actual work of
construction can be started as soon as
the materials are ready. The testing
machine has arrived at the works, and
mas already been put in service.
Commander Evans, president of the
Inspection board, has just returned
rom visit to Crump's works at Phila-
eelphla. He says that the framing for
me baltimore is excellent, and he
GoQois II better steel was ever put into
thsframeS Of vessels.
